Tony Earl Governor: 1983 – 1986 Congratulations, Wisconsin Association of Health Plans. Over 30 years, you’ve fought with integrity to grow our shared vision of a more competitive, robust health insurance industry.

THE WISCONSIN SURVEY - Spring 2002
THE WISCONSIN SURVEY - Spring 2002 http://www.snc.edu/survey/report_twss02.html THE WISCONSIN SURVEY Survey Information: Survey Sponsors: Wisconsin Public Radio and St. Norbert College Survey Methodology: Random statewide telephone survey of Wisconsin residents. The random digit dial method selects for both listed and unlisted phone numbers. Eight attempts were made on each telephone number randomly selected to reach an adult in the household. Survey History: the survey has been conducted biannually since 1984. Data Collection Time Period: 3/20/02 - 4/7/02 N = 407 Error Rate: 4.864% at the 95% confidence level. The margin of error will be larger for subgroups. Key Findings: According to the Wisconsin Public Radio - St. Norbert College Survey Center poll, if the general election were held today, Governer McCallum would be ahead of Democratic or third party contenders in hypothetical election pairings of candidates. However, in the race between McCallum and Doyle, the percentage lead McCallum has over Doyle is within the margin of error of the survey. In other words, there is no statistically significant difference between the two candidates. In the hypothetical pairings of McCallum against the other Democratic Party candidates, McCallum appears to be well ahead. Another indicator of sentiment for the candidates is the "favorable" and "unfavorable" ratings. Here, Doyle rates the highest, with 36% of respondents saying they had a favorable impression of him, compared to McCallum's 31%. Similarly, only 18% of respondents said they had an unfavorable opinion of Doyle compared to 35% of respondents saying they had an unfavorable opinion of McCallum. So, why is there no significant difference in the polls between McCallum and Doyle when Doyle seems to be more highly esteemed? More people have not heard of Doyle than McCallum and those who have not heard of Doyle are likely to vote for McCallum.

Moving Wisconsin Forward Governor Jim Doyle 2002-2010 JIM DOYLE GOVERNOR STATE of WISCONSIN
MOVING WISCONSIN FORWARD Governor Jim Doyle 2002-2010 JIM DOYLE GOVERNOR STATE OF WISCONSIN December 2010 My Fellow Citizens: For the past eight years, I have had the honor and privilege of serving the people of Wisconsin as Governor. Over the course of our lives, Jessica and I have dedicated ourselves to working for others, first as Peace Corps volunteers, then on a Navajo Indian Reservation, and finally as Governor and First Lady. We have been blessed with many opportunities and responsibilities – but none has been as great as serving the people of this state. Serving as Governor has been fulfilling, hard work that would not have been possible without the support of many people who love this state. I have been blessed with a wonderful family and a great team – all of whom care deeply about Wisconsin and have been working every bit as hard as I have to move Wisconsin forward. The following pages are a record of that work. When I took office, I had to confront two major, immediate challenges – the largest budget deficit in the state’s history and an economy that had been hit hard by a national recession. The situation demanded hard decisions. So we tightened our belts, made tough cuts, but didn’t give an inch on the things that matter most, protecting schools, creating jobs, and making sure more people could afford the health care they need. That’s the way we do things here in Wisconsin. And it’s the approach that guided me through two terms as your Governor.
